Currently going through footage from this winter and got this nice footage of a black wolf traveling with a normal “gray" wolf. The pair appeared to be transient and not part of a pack in our area. There are no black wolves in any of the packs we are currently studying.
In other words, the pair was just meandering around our area for a bit this winter before they likely moved on somewhere else. Whether they were a mated pair, siblings, or something else is unknown as we only had a few videos of these two this past winter.

A super-duper, amazingly lucky trail camera capture: we finally caught a wolf hunting a beaver on video!!! Check it out! We cannot overstate how rare such observations are. Of course, you might think we are exaggerating here so let us explain…
In 2015, Dr. Dave Mech—one of the world’s foremost wolf experts—and colleagues published a book which was a comprehensive overview on how wolves hunt various prey. The section on beavers was 4 paragraphs long and the authors' concluded: “We found no actual descriptions of wolves hunting beavers”.
Then, through some amazing stroke of luck, someone in Quebec in Fall 2015 observed and recorded a wolf hunting and killing a beaver on a logging road! The first recorded observation of a wolf killing a beaver we are aware of.
And we have yet to see any videos of a wolf killing a beaver since this 2015 observation in Quebec.
Although we have had many cameras on beaver dams, we have never captured anything remotely like this before. So you can imagine our excitement when we saw this.

We rarely see black wolves in our area so seeing this black wolf with its seemingly shaggy coat, especially around its legs and feet, was pretty neat!
The wolf hung out in front of the camera for a while before heading on its way. This wolf was a lone wolf just passing through our area. None of the ~19 packs we are currently studying have black pack members in them.

We learned this winter that there is one wolf in the Cranberry Bay Pack who loves trail cameras…more specifically, loves to chew on trail cameras! You can see this little hellion coming in like a search-and-destroy missile in this video! And destroy it did!
In fact, in early winter, this wolf found and chewed on almost every camera we had in the Cranberry Bay territory! Most of our cameras survived this onslaught with only a few minor chew marks but in one instance, the wolf full and completely destroyed the camera.

The Cranberry Bay Pack on the move…all 8 of them! We put this camera on a recently-drained massive beaver pond who dam gave way this spring. For scale, the big mound on the left that the wolves are standing is the old dam!
